The unveiling of the vehicle was held on Wednesday morning in Sanford.

“So many of us have been touched by cancer—at our agency and in our community,” said Sheriff Donald F. Eslinger. “This vehicle is a mobile statement of support from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and we’re proud to show that we care about this cause.”

The vehicle was professionally wrapped by a company in Longwood.

Officials say that during the month of October, the pink patrol car will make appearances at a variety of cancer awareness events and community gatherings, starting with its first public appearance on Sunday at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the University of Central Florida.

The vehicle will be driven by deputies, investigators, and other sworn personnel as they travel throughout the county carrying out their daily duties.

The public is encouraged to tweet photos of the car as they spot it and send to @SeminoleSO with hash-tag #pinkpatrol.

The 2013 Ford Interceptor is outfitted with a complete law enforcement package and was borrowed from the Sheriff’s Office existing fleet.

The car will stay wrapped through the end of the calendar year before being unwrapped and returned to routine patrol service.
